1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Volumetric electron microscopy (EM) has become a critical approach to generating high-resolution reconstructions of brain tissue. As the size of EM volumes increase, use of automated image segmentation within the reconstruction pipeline has become essential, although it generates errors that need correction. The proofreading and correcting of these errors has since become the dominant cost driver in the pipeline, but precisely estimating the sufficient number of proofreading edits to enable meaningful scientific analyses of the reconstructed neuronal networks remains a challenge. We present a fast, computationally inexpensive way to estimate the progress of a connectomic proofreading effort without requiring
